FAQs
Are the Merrell Moab 3 shoes waterproof?
The standard Moab 3 features a mesh upper for breathability, which is not waterproof. If you require water protection, ensure you are looking for a 'Gore-Tex' or 'Waterproof' specific version of the model.
How do I choose the right size?
Merrell sizes generally run true to standard sizing, but it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front to prevent toe impact on steep descents.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the leather components. Always hand clean with a brush and water.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
They are ideal for light to moderate hiking trails, gravel paths, and general outdoor walking.
Do I need to treat the leather?
Periodically applying a leather conditioner specifically designed for hiking boots can help maintain the suppleness of the pigskin and extend its life.
How long should these shoes last?
Durability depends on the frequency of use and the harshness of the terrain, but with proper care, the Moab series is known for its longevity.
Troubleshooting
Laces slipping during use
Ensure you are using a double-knot or a secure hiking lacing technique to maximize the grip of the recycled laces.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
While the mesh is breathable, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool hiking socks rather than cotton.
Build-up of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush or a stick to dislodge compacted mud from the Vibram outsole lugs after finishing your hike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Merrell Moab 3 hiking shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you wear the type of hiking socks you intend to use on the trail when trying on the shoes to get an accurate fit.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each hike. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the leather.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as excessive heat can damage the adhesives and the leather upper.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
